Meg had been sick a couple of times this week, we put it down to her picking up Jaspers disgusting habit of munching on Guinea pig poo (we are pig sitting for a week).
Thursday night she looked really off it, and was sick several times in the evening.
We let her out last thing and although it was dark we could tell she had very bad diarrhoea :x :x
Over the next few hours she was sick 4 times and the last time she produced a large volume of very bloody mucus.
She then made her way to the door to go out side but didn’t make it. She squatted on the kitchen floor and to our horror produced a pool of bloody Diarrhoea.
We got her to the vets first thing this morning; he took her in and put a drip in her straight away. The first test results are back, no obvious liver or kidney damage, the stool culture will take a while longer.
The vet seems to think she has a very nasty bug, Salmonella or E-coli. But neither of the other two dogs are effected although they all go the same walks, play with the same toys eat the same food Etc. We don’t think its poisoning but it can’t be ruled out at this stage. Has anyone any thoughts as to what this could be. We are very worried about her, the vet say she has stabilised but is still very poorly. Its heart breaking, as ill as she is she was still trying to find the energy to wag her tail.
